We are developing an autonomous drone that will provide a complete visual inspection and non-destructive testing (NDT) solution for enclosed and poorly lit environments.

INDOOR COLLISION AVOIDANCE

Spatial awareness and decision making enable the drone to avoid collision with its surroundings.

NAVIGATION AND MAPPING

The drone can carry out inspection by planned routes inside and around complex structures, identify, locate and map defects.

SOFTWARE, SENSORS & AI

Our smart drones enable us to use state of the art sensors for gathering of high quality inspection data. Our software process collected data for interpretation, report generation and storage.

Scout Drone Inspection is a spin-off from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
being developed in close co-operation with the industry.
